    The allegations stem from alleged interactions Ozzatron had with teenage minors in a NSFW Discord server. The project lacks the resources to handle requests for removal of contributor content.

    The fallout came fast, as composer CD Music resigned, the Catalyst side-project got shelved, and planned content like Sunken Sea never surfaced. Then, Contributors started requesting their work be pulled from the mod entirely, and since Calamity no longer has enough developers to process each request, ending development became, as the team put it, “the closest thing we can do to fulfilling everybody’s requests.”

    Ozzatron, meanwhile, holds sole ownership of the mod’s GitHub, and he’s reportedly gone quiet since, which leaves the project’s future genuinely uncertain.
